What (in your opinion) Is the easiest fish to keep for beginners?

 

[Miami Reef]

Damselfish. Clownfish.

 

[Mono]

Clown over Damsel because then you can actually add a second fish!

All of the classics, Bengai or PJ Cardinal

I like my angry predator fish myself. Although my scorpion fish seems pretty happy for being such a killer. Lol

Predatory fish are awesome when I was a kid I wanted a BARRACUDA lol.

Damsel, clown or canned tuna. All about as easy as the other.

I can somehow never seem to keep canned tuna alive. The other fish always eat it any ways to combat this?

Funny cuz last time i was reefing i saw barracuda for sale twice. $100. Tiny little baby. Kick myself for not buying. Lol.
Prob upwards of $300-$500 now. I might get a blue line snapper.

I wonder if they need to be in a tank by themselves.

Devil Damsels, nothing can kill them

Read this in another post and I believe it is the most accurate description of what we are all about here:

"This hobby is not about keeping livestock, it is about keeping water."

If you have good water, you can keep anything.. Now, some species don't play well with others, so you need to research anything you add before you add it.

This is true, although, some factors such as feeding routines and tank setup can make some fish harder than others.

That thing would probably outgrow your aquarium in like two months.

My tanks have been 100-300gallons the last 10yrs. These fish were small. Like 3-4" but very aggressive. Lol.
I had no other fish with teeth like them in my tanks. The biggest was a shadow fin squirrelfish at 5" and he was a peaceful community dude. Lol
I didnt want rips and chucks taken out of my other fish basically.
